Plummer Retires

This is kind of old news. But I wasn't around the news this weekend to hear about it and have thought a lot about the situation today. I first read about it in the Rocky Mountain News: "Lincicome: Plummer picked weak way out". Just like many in the Denver media sharkpit to spit on a guy on the way out. From what I've heard, Jake lives a low profile life. He drives a Honda Element not a Cadillac Escalade and doesn't generally spend much money. I think if I had the ability to quietly step away from something that maybe became not fun anymore and try other things I would be all over it. A big part of me wanted him to go to another team as a starter and show everyone that he's actually very good, but congrats to him for not being afraid of making what appears to be the right life decision for him. I'll miss watching "The Snake" make ridiculous bootleg throws and running over pass defenses who didn't respect his legs. He did Boise proud.
